Watch Listen Tell – Golden Silvers
“I tend to play mostly villains and twisted people. Unsavory guys. I think it’s my face, the way I look.”
Christopher Walken is easily one of my favourite actors of all time. It’s his charm (although he hasn’t particularly charming in Sleepy Hollow but that wasn’t even much of a role anyway) and the fact that you believe his character no matter who he portrays. A fair few of his films are cemented securely in [...]

Something Strange Going On

Artist:
iPod shuffle on as I left the house this morning and a song I’ve never heard came on by Gang Gang Dance.Instantly loved it but didn’t check who it was and then the first verse came in and I thought it was a remix of Rabbit Heart!Seriously the first verses are identical. Strangely enough the [...]

Track:A New Day's Dawn
This song really surprised me this morning.It’s a 7-minute track and it starts off instrumentally and very gradually builds up. The whole song really makes you visualise the sun gradually rising in the morning. And then, almost out of nowhere, really beautiful vocals creep in for what can only represent the first tip of the [...]

King(s) of New York

Artist:
The video is out. This track properly caught Warner off guard when it soared to the charts when the album first dropped back in September and they had to rush to get a video out.Luckily the video itself doesn’t feel rushed and Jay-Z remains the King of New York.If anyone in the UK is at [...]

Track:Ambling Alp
Yeasayer are back with the first taste from their new album, Odd Blood.This new track is definitely more pop-fused than previous material. Their debut was an amazing collection of completely experimentally driven pop-folk tracks and you can see how complex the tracks are in their YouTube videos.I personally love them but I can see how [...]

Track:Tits & Ass
Tits & Ass.No, it’s not the title of a sexist West Coast rap song nor is it the smutty heading for a Lonely Hearts piece in a local paper. Instead, it’s the title to Izzi Dunn’s new funked up single available from November 16th.The track we have for you is the Blunt Laser remix and [...]

Brand new Chase & Status
Earlier in the week I made it down to see Chase & Status at Brixton Academy and I didn’t realise how powerful some of their music really is.

OK so when this first started playing I thought it was going be similar to Jason Mraz or something awfully similar but thankfully it’s extremely far from that.Alan Pownall’s Colourful Day is so beautiful and as an album sampler it’s done a great job in getting me excited to hear the whole thing. It’s a [...]

Track:Sweet Symphony
Polish duo El Barto & Liam B have put together an unsuspecting mash-up that I really, really like.The Verve’s Bittersweet Symphony and Marvin Gaye’s Ain’t That Peculiar make for a great pair. The vocals work so well with the strings and as the song builds and builds it really sounds like Marvin could have actually [...]

Young Dead Actors

Artist:Young Dead Actors
There’s something about showbiz that the Grim Reaper loves.I can think of so many actors that died young. Whether it be death by misadventure, suicide, alcohol, drugs or just being incredibly fat, a lot of the best have bowed out too early.We received some songs earlier in the week from a band who go by [...]

Track:Byrds of Prey (DC Breaks Remix)
Annie Mac has got some goodies under her sleeves (or her producers do) and over the weekend she played such a dirty drum and bass tune.So good in fact that it reinvigorated me back into the genre and since then I’ve been hungry for high calibre more D&B. Any suggestions?I searched long and hard online [...]
